My name’s Mark Cantrell, a journalist and social commentator by trade, a novelist by inclination. I’m the author of Citizen Zero (2017) and Silas Morlock (2013), both published by Inspired Quill. There’s more to my literary pursuits than novels, however, as you’ll soon see from this site.

CITIZEN ZERO made its paperback debut in August 2017, courtesy of Inspired Quill. This exciting new edition is available in both digital and hardcopy editions. Visit the novel’s page here for links to retail outlets.
